The Selling Factory

Case Study

Frankel:

Advancing businesses forward for over 20 years, Frankel: is a marketing agency and more. Their team has a deep and diverse skill set in marketing, digital, media, communications and design – as well as business strategy – so their clients can have faith they will get a business solution rather than just an ad campaign.

Challenge

Frankel: sought a turnkey calling team to strengthen client campaigns. They needed a trusted partner to quickly spin up teams of outbound callers. By aligning these teams with their multi-channel client strategy, they would bolster campaign outcomes for their customers.

Goal

Working on multiple campaigns with Frankel:, two examples include the following goals: 

Client #1: Florida Based Medical Practice

Frankel designed a marketing campaign including an email outreach effort, texting services, a standard mail campaign, and mass market television advertising. To support these tactics, they brought in The Selling Factory to manage a phone outreach effort to connect with over 5,000 clients regarding Open Enrollment options for the coming year.

Client #2: Custodial Service Provider for Registered
Investment Advisors

Frankel structured a marketing campaign around a high end mailer that included video in addition to a paired email outreach effort. To support these tactics, they brought in The Selling Factory to manage a phone outreach effort to connect with over 7,000 contacts working at roughly 2,400 companies regarding information on custodial transitions due to large corporation mergers.

Solution

The Selling Factory built teams of part time fractional workers that were launched in a timely fashion to support Frankel’s needs for multiple client types.

We have partnered with The Selling Factory on campaigns for several different clients, and we have had a wonderful experience every time. Their team is friendly, skilled, easy to work with, and, most of all, effective. Without question, our clients have been able to generate a greater ROI because we included outbound call efforts in our campaigns.  It’s been so nice to add The Selling Factory as another tool in our agency’s war chest of tactics.
